Automated Daily Backups

Data loss isn't a matter of "if" — it's "when." Hardware fails. Employees accidentally delete files. Ransomware encrypts everything. Our automated backup system runs every day with both local and cloud copies, so your data is always recoverable.

Local + Cloud Backup (3-2-1 Rule) — Three copies of your data, on two different media types, with one stored offsite in the cloud. Industry best practice, fully automated.
Image-Based Backup — Full system snapshots capture everything — OS, applications, configurations, and data. Restore an entire server to bare metal in hours, not days.
Microsoft 365 Backup — Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams data backed up independently of Microsoft's retention policies. Your data, your control.
Automated Verification — Every backup is tested automatically. We don't just hope it worked — we verify it. Failed backups trigger immediate alerts to our team.

Recovery Time Comparison

The difference between no backup and a managed DR plan can be the difference between a minor disruption and losing your business.

Scenario No Backup Basic Backup Full DR Plan
Recovery Time Days to weeks 12-24 hours < 4 hours
Data Loss Risk Total loss Up to 24 hours < 1 hour
Server Failure Rebuild from scratch Restore files only Full system restore
Ransomware Attack Pay ransom or lose data Partial restore Clean rollback
Testing & Verification N/A Manual / occasional Automated daily
Est. Downtime Cost $10,000+/day $2,000-5,000 Minimal

Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity

A backup is only useful if you can actually restore from it — and if you've practiced doing so. We build, document, and regularly test your disaster recovery plan so when the worst happens, recovery is a well-rehearsed process, not a panicked scramble.

DR Plan Development — Documented recovery procedures for every critical system, with assigned roles, communication chains, and step-by-step runbooks.
Quarterly DR Testing — We simulate disaster scenarios and practice full recovery drills. You'll know exactly how long recovery takes — before you actually need it.
Ransomware Recovery — Air-gapped and immutable backups that ransomware cannot encrypt. If you're hit, we restore clean copies without paying a cent to attackers.
Data Retention Policies — Customizable retention schedules that meet your compliance requirements. Daily, weekly, monthly, and annual backup retention tiers.
Business Continuity Planning — Beyond IT recovery — we help you plan for maintaining operations during any disruption, from power outages to natural disasters.
